The automobile technology has made a rapid advancement in the recent years and has entered a new era of hi-tech vehicles. The field of Automobile Engineering was initially catered to by professionals from conventional branches. The development was not such as to give rise to the need of specialized Automobile Engineers. However the growth in this field was rapid in the last two decades. This growth was both in terms of latest technology being used in automobiles and in industry. With the use of microchip and micro-processor based modules in automobiles, there has been a rapid advancement in this field and the field is revolutionized. The automobile of today is the result of accumulation of many years of pioneering research and development. In India, the Automobile field is in for a boom both in terms of technology and in size. Due to the liberalization policy a large number of MNC's have entered the Indian auto market and have either set up their production plants in India and the plans of many others are on the anvil. This led to the need of professionals specializing in this particular field of Automobile Engineering.

 Thus, the branch of Automobile Engineering was introduced in this backdrop. Young professionals, who have the enthusiasm and passion for latest technology, are getting attracted to this field. The course curriculum is so designed so as to specialize the students in the field of Automobile Engineering and to cater to the ever‑growing need of the auto industry and the rapidly changing Automobile scenario. Practicals are designed so as to give the students complete exposure of the latest technology. A new laboratory namely Autotronics Laboratory is being developed, which consists of ultra‑modern learning aids. The department has well qualified teacher who are PG Degree holders in this field.  
   The department had organized various industrial visits to the automobile manufacturing unit to get a firsthand experience of how the industry works. Our rapport with the industry is quite strong and the students learn a lot through this experience. We had organised a three‑day state level event "Auto motivation‑2002" which comprised of seminars, competitions and Question and Answer session with the industry people. The event was sponsored by Industries, such as Indian Oil Corp.. Ltd., Bharat Petroleum Corp.. Ltd. and various organizations from the automobile field. The event provided a platform to the students to be exposed to the latest technological developments taking place in the automotive field as also a platform for industry‑institute interaction. The event was attended by luminaries form automobile industries. such as TELCO, Mahindra & Mahindra, etc. The department has also organized inter‑college technical paper presentation competition. Students from the department have participated in various co‑curricular activities at inter‑collegiate level and have won prizes in the events, such as Techfest in 1IT, Bombay and Robotantra. at RAIT, Mumbai. 

Scope of Automobile Engineering The future is quite bright for Automobile Engineers. Large number of MNC's have either altered the Indian auto market or are on the verge of entering it due to the liberalization policy. Also, these is revolution in the field of automobiles in terms of technology. Automobile Engineers are required in R&D, Service Industry, Planning and Design.

Career opportunities in Automobile Engineering involves pursuing higher studies in India and abroad, such as M.E. / M.Tech. / M.S. in branches of Automobile Engineering, Computer, Mechanical Engineering and Energy Systems, (in India and abroad), Automobile manufacturers/service centers/dealers, Sales and Service of automobiles in India and abroad, etc.
